Scoring rigged?

Surely what i have been reading is wrong! I have recently read that champion data award differently weighted DT points depending on how the player's passge of play influences the game. E.g if you kick a winning goal you get more than just the points for the kick and the goal. Surely this is not true!
I always watch the games with the stats open on my PC next to me, and i often watch for a player's DT score to go up or down depending on a passage of play and i often see no change! I generally put this down to me not being able to correlate the DT score rise/fall due to the time lag between the passage of play and computer update...

Please tell me that DT scoring is black and white, if you mark, kick, goal you only get DT points for a mark, kick, goal! Surely how that play influences the game doesnt change the value of the DT points!

Just look at the stats, it is all black and white, if you suspect foul, add the stats yourself

I think you misread it, champion data does the scoring for SuperCoach, so I believe you have it confused with DT.

That's what i thought... I do check the math and if you add up the stats they do equal the DT points they deserve so that's all cool.

The article i read was definitely written for SC so that's obviously where im going wrong. So where does DT get its stats from?

I'd say the official stats from the AFL

That is champion data isnt it?

Anyone know? I always thought it was champion data, more a curiosity thing now...

Stats collection is from the same source. DT uses pure stats around kicks, marks, handballs, etc and points associated with them. SC measures effectiveness, importance and other stats like clearances, and then standardises from a total points pool of about 3300 per match.
